Here’s all that hapened at the Google Fall Event!

 During the online-only Pixel Fall Launch keynote, there weren’t many announcements, it was mostly all about the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro as the name suggests. Here’s everything Google detailed during the live stream. 

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro

The Pixel 6 has a 6.4-inch 90Hz FHD+ display, comes with the Tensor chip, 8GB of RAM, and comes with a $599 price tag. Conversely, the Pixel 6 Pro offers some important upgrades but the same “core” build including the Tensor CPU, 12GB RAM, a 120Hz QHD+ display, and the best camera setup seen on a Pixel to date. Google launches $599 Pixel 6, available October 28

Pixel 6

If you care about cameras, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro offer a new 50MP camera sensor and several new and enhanced camera features that utilize the AI enhancements added with the Tensor chip. Both the Pixel 6 models share that same primary sensor that is paired alongside a 12MP ultrawide camera and a 12MP selfie camera. However, the Pixel 6 Pro model is the first Made by Google smartphone to include a 4x periscope-style telephoto lens for zoom. This is rated at 48MP.

Despite early rumors to the contrary, Google announced that the Pixel 6 will receive three years of OS upgrades and a further two years of security updates for a total of five years of software support. It’s priced very competitively at $899. Both devices will begin shipping on October 28.

Enhanced Android 12 features

Although unveiled as Pixel 6 features, Android 12 will gain several core improvements in selected areas. Some will remain exclusive to Pixel 6 due to the AI capabilities of the Tensor chip including “Live Translate,” “Direct my Call,” and “Wait Times.” These features offer big improvements or enhancements over existing areas such as in translation speed or dictation accuracy with the Google Assistant. Pixel 6 can transcribe phone tree menus with ‘Direct my Call’ & show toll-free ‘Wait Times’

Android 12

Android 12 was also quietly announced and is now rolling out to previous devices up to and including the Pixel 3 series from 2018. The heavily delayed update was merely mentioned during the Pixel Fall Launch announcement keynote. Google rolling out Android 12 to current Pixel phones today

There are some huge changes and major reliance on your on-device wallpaper as part of the wider Material You and Dynamic Color changes. We’ve gone into greater detail throughout the Android 12 Developer Preview and Beta phases. Enhanced privacy controls, fully redesigned widgets, and more make for the biggest Android update in a long time.

Tensor chipset

Although we’ve known about the Tensor chip for some time, the intricate details were shrouded in rumor and even a little misinformation. Google’s first internally developed silicon signifies a big step, and the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are the first devices to utilize the chip.

Tensor Chipset

This co-designed chip has been built with Machine Learning processes in mind. During Tensor’s announcement section at Pixel Fall Launch keynote, Google suggested that lower power consumption is an area where this SoC shines.

It also provides the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro with enhanced features including the aforementioned enhanced Android 12 features such as Live Translate. Google states that this feature is only possible, thanks to the new SoC.

Tensor’s CPU consists of two high-performance cores, two mid cores, and four high-efficiency cores alongside a 20-core GPU. A Titan M2 security chip also ensures that Pixel 6 and 6 Pro offer a high level of on-device security.

Pixel Pass

The brand-new Pixel Pass bundles a smartphone, guaranteed biannual upgrades, plus access to YouTube Premium, Google Play Pass, and the 200GB Google One tier alongside an optional protection plan for as low as $45 per month.

Pixel Pass

Pixel Pass bundles smartphone upgrades w/ protection, YT Premium, more from $45/month. Pixel Pass is only available if the Pixel 6 or 6 Pro is bought directly from the Google Store. That means you can only get Pixel Pass if you purchase a Pixel 6/Pro from the Google Store, whether unlocked or for a specific carrier, or through Google Fi. Unfortunately, Pixel Pass is only available in the US.
